In this step up to 6th-grade math ongoing course, students be introduced to some important sixth-grade math skills, as outlined by the Common Core State Standards. 

We will learn about probability, ratios, inequalities, and more  - students will be exposed to each of the sixth-grade math standards. They will get to practice these skills with a licensed elementary school teacher in a low-stress and friendly environment. This class is perfect for students who want to get a head start on learning sixth grade math content in a low-stress environment. 

Students can join AT ANY TIME. Skills will be taught in isolation and new learners are always welcome. If you do not see a time that works for you on the schedule, please REQUEST A TIME and I will do my best to help meet your scheduling needs. 


Class structure: 
⭐Students are introduced to the objective of the week. 
⭐Teacher models the skill using examples and manipulative (if applicable) 
⭐Whole group practice of the skill using the weekly printables, Zoom whiteboard, and other websites, when applicable. 
⭐Independent practice/continued whole group support 
⭐When time allows, students will engage in a game to practice the week's skill (Blooket, Boom Cards, Kahoot)

I also encourage students to find real-world connections to the skills that we are learning in class. When students can make meaningful connections to the materials that we are learning in class, such as how they might use the skill in real life, they are more likely to be engaged and retain the information. 

I always allow students to share their strategies, questions, thoughts, and ideas throughout the class. Promoting a supportive and inclusive classroom is of utmost importance in order to allow students to grow as independent thinkers. 

Because this is an ongoing course, students MAY JOIN AT ANY TIME. The concepts are taught in isolation. However, students should be able to add/subtract/multiply/divide basic facts or should have a math tool available that allows them to make these calculations (such as a multiplication chart). 

There are multiple sections of this ongoing course available. Please refer to the sections below to find out where we are in the curriculum for the section that you are interested in.
